Case Study: A midwest based religious group was planning on opening a food bank and counseling facility. The considered location was in a neighborhood that had potential security risks. The HAC team surveyed all exterior aspects of the building. Furthermore, inside the building the life safety and fire code and security systems were assessed. Lastly, a neighborhood report on crime statistics, to an area of three miles, around the proposed facility was examined. Based on our findings the client determined the location was not suitable for their needs.
